Moomin was created in 1945 by Tove Jansson, Finland’s beloved author, painter, and artist. This year, the world of those stories has once again been brought to life as a Weeks book.
Wrapped in a cover made from necktie fabric with a beautiful sheen and a pleasant woven texture, the techo is designed to feel like a light hardcover book with some give to it. Against a deep green background, Snufkin goes about his day in his own free-spirited way — fishing, playing music, and enjoying life.
Among the scenes depicted, you’ll also find Snufkin spending time together with Moomintroll.
Bronze lamé thread is woven into the ornaments on Snufkin’s hat, adding a subtle shimmer. Every detail has been brought to life with necktie weaving techniques. The year 2027 is foil-pressed in gold.

The Hobonichi Techo Weeks comes with a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.
The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.
In addition to the monthly calendars and weekly pages, there are also plenty of grid-lined memo pages.

The back of the book contains bonus pages, including standard favorites like My 100 and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.
If you’d like to customize the look of your Weeks or add space to store accessories, you can pair it with a Weeks cover.

With this chic, sophisticated Weeks, you can spend the year alongside Snufkin, a lover of solitude and freedom.
Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was a Finnish-Swedish writer and artist, who achieved worldwide fame as the creator of the stories about the Moomins, written and illustrated between 1945 and 1977. The Moomin family and their friends live an adventurous life in the idyllic and peaceful Moominvalley in harmony with nature. They are a family of white and roundish trolls with large snouts.

You may notice press marks, slight whitening, or a glossy finish on the corners of the front and back covers. These are unavoidable results of the binding process.

The Tomoe River paper designed for planners is known for its thinness and smooth writing surface. However, depending on the type and amount of ink or pen used—as well as environmental conditions—some ink may bleed through or take longer to dry. We recommend testing your pens on an inconspicuous area first, or using a pencil board or blotting paper for best results.
